If it is a major feature or a semantical change, please don't start coding +straight away: if your feature is not a conceptual fit you'll lose a lot of +time writing the code without any reason. Start by posting in the mailing list +and creating an issue at Github with the description of, exactly, what you want +to accomplish and why. Use cases are important for features to be accepted. +Here you'll see if there is consensus about your idea. + +2. If in step 1 you get an acknowledgment from the project leaders, use the + following procedure to submit a patch: + + a. Fork Redis on github ( https://docs.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/fork-a-repo ) + b. Create a topic branch (git checkout -b my_branch) + c. Push to your branch (git push origin my_branch) + d. Initiate a pull request on github ( https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request ) + e. Done :) + +3. Keep in mind that we are very overloaded, so issues and PRs sometimes wait +for a *very* long time. However this is not lack of interest, as the project +gets more and more users, we find ourselves in a constant need to prioritize +certain issues/PRs over others. If you think your issue/PR is very important +try to popularize it, have other users commenting and sharing their point of +view and so forth. This helps. + +4. For minor fixes just open a pull request on Github. + +Thanks! -- cgit v1.2.1
